Formula 1 2024

Even looking only at the highlights was exciting!

Looks like other teams have caught up to RB while RB is fighting amongst itself…

Anyone see Ocon’s super salty post race interview?

Here we see the racing line in red, and the Ocon line in blue. In the Ocon line you make a big point about going way out of your way so you can take the high road.

But I thought you'd banned that cheating cunt for life, FIA!

It’s awesome to see multiple teams having similar qualifying pace now! Wonder same holds true for race pace… kind of a shame to see then finally converge and then new set of rules will probably change all that. They should delay the rule change a bit I think…

people who know about those things have said that the long run pace of Mercedes and Ferrari were similar.

i guess the win will be a battle between Mac and Lando.

Perez drops to 5th in standings. Oof.

Watching the start a few times on the after show…that was millimeters away from being a massive disaster caused by George. He barely got away with it.

Hamilton leaving Merc at just the wrong time if he wants more wins. But I definitely agree you can only spend so much time at a team before it’s just time for a change. He’s got nothing left to prove.

Max for sure sees the new budget rules working to great effect as the other teams have caught and, in the case of McLaren, passed RBR. And, as per the rules design, should continue for quite some time. So Max will have to just outperform the car if he wants to stay at the front in 2025. 2024 is probably in the bag even if he starts finishing P2 or 3. He’s probably trying to guess which team he needs to escape to asap.

Silly season should be interesting this year.

McLaren has indeed passed RBR in the development race if we accept that the metric is that one corner (out of 15) where Horner said Lando was faster than Max.

Dude i know you want to paint verstappen as some kind of underdog, but that's just not reality. Redbull are the most dominant team of the bouncey car era.

Except in circuits with tight corners, because excessive dimensions.

Agree to disagree as usual. As per usual, you aren’t reading my full post or aren’t understanding?

It’s obvious RBR has ruled the bouncy era. I merely said everyone has caught up…and McLaren probably has a better total package right now. And moving forward RBR will continue to fall back due to the development rules in place (so no other team can ever pull a Mercedes again). So Max will have to over perform the car next year if he wants to win another WDC.

It’s not rocket science…

we'll see about it after Silverstone. and Austria. and zandvoort.

and you'll counter after Hungary and Singapore...

2025.
